Hello and Goodbye myLot

Tweet

So I signed up yesterday to mylot and have spent several hours now just browsing and reading different discussions. I have found that due to the fact that you get paid to post here, that it leads to a surplus of ridiculous discussions/topics and even worse responses. I won't give any examples, as it's not hard to figure out which ones are the culprits. Most responses are made up of three parts. 1. Repeat the topic or question that the "discussion" is about 2. Add your opinion 3. FLUFF From what I read, it is a common belief(although no one knows for sure), that the amount and length of posts dictates your pay. Thus leading to not just pointless topics, but pointless replies. So ok, people are making a little extra change...and by change, I mean change. No problem with that. After reading more of these discussions however, I find out that people are being paid less than a dollar for 10-20 or more posts. That sounds like you could make a dollar after maybe twenty hours of reading/creating/responding to discussions. I think I would rather move along to another forum where people speak about things that they genuinely care about, rather than creating a discussion simply to boost their ratings or earn a couple extra pennies on the month. So, so long myLot. I enjoyed the 10 hours that I will never get back of my life. Thanks
